[cobirds] Red-necked Phalaropes, Spring Park Resr, Eagle Cty 5/16

[cobirds] Red-necked Phalaropes, Sloan's Lake, Denver

Just had ~100 red-necked phalaropes on Sloan's Lake. The birds were very active around the middle of the lake, even getting very close to shore on the West (Sheridan) side. This is the 2nd time I've had RN Phalarope here - I had 25 birds in September of 2013 spend about 10 minutes trying not

[cobirds] Yellow-billed Cuckoo?

Hello all, I was wondering if anybody has relocated the yellow-billed cuckoo that was seen in Chatfield SP yesterday, or if anybody knows where it was last seen. It would be a lifer for me, and one that I've tried for in SE Colorado, Illinois, Florida, and Mexico without success. Any

[cobirds] Spring Counts - Audubon Nature Center trails (Jefferson) & RMArsenal NWR (Adams)

[cobirds] Least Terns at Lake Hasty (Bent County)

Birders, I observed two Least Terns at Lake Hasty today, May 16th, only one day later than their usual arrival date of May 15th. Lake Hasty is a staging area for Least Terns most years, but it contains no nesting habitat. In past years, their arrival would have been no big deal, but they have
